The D-Link DWL-2210AP is not designed for multiple, simultaneous configuration changes. If 
you have a network that includes multiple access points, and more than one administrator is 
logged on to the Administration Web pages and making changes to the configuration, all access 
points in the cluster will stay in synch but there is no guarantee that all configuration changes 
specified by multiple users will be applied.

• What is a Cluster?
• How Many APs Can a Cluster Support?
• What Kinds of APs Can Cluster Together?

• Which Settings are Shared as Part of the Cluster Configuration and Which     
  Are Not?
• Cluster Mode
• Standalone Mode
• Cluster Formation
• Cluster Size and Membership
• Intra-Cluster Security
• Auto-Synch of Cluster Configuration

The D-Link DWL-2210AP shows current basic configuration settings for clustered access 
points (location, IP address, MAC address, status, and availability) and provides a way 
of navigating to the full configuration for specific APs if they are cluster members.

Standalone access points or those which are not members of this cluster do not show 
up in this listing. To configure standalone access points, you must discover (via Kickstart) 
or know the IP address of the access point and by using its IP address in a URL (http://

IPAddressOfAccessPoint

).

The following topics are covered:
• Navigating to Access Points Management
• Understanding Clustering

• Understanding Access Point Settings
• Modifying the Location Description
• Removing an Access Point from the Cluster
• Adding an Access Point to a Cluster
• Navigating to Configuration Information for a Specific AP and Managing  

 

 Standalone APs
